My fiance and I will not be married until next summer, and I plan to give the baby his name. Even if him and I broke up. He's a good man and a good father. So regardless of how him and I end up I have no problem giving my child his name.

Well it depends on your plans with him like do you have plans to marry?? Im not married either and we are just combining our two last names. I also didnt want my last name to die out and when we get married we will both change our last names so itll be spencer-byrd for all of us

We are not married and both boys have his last name. The twins are going to have his last name too. I think it depends on how committed you are. Personal opinion but make the decision that you can live with.
